Dogbrick (2266), Columbus, Ohio, USA Feb 22, 2008 Sample at the brewpub. This brew is a clear golden color with a medium white head that diminishes quickly. This is the second time I have run into a beer with fresh blueberries thrown in (the other being Boston Beer Works), and as far as novelties go BBW has the edge because their blueberries were dancing all over the inside of the glass, while Redondo’s just kind of laid sulkily at the bottom. Aroma of wheat and blueberries. Light body with a bubbly mouthfeel. Sweet fruit and wheat flavors with a bit of malt and sesty spice. The finish is fruity and short. Overall not worth revisiting. Charlzm (247), Los Angeles, California, USA Jan 15, 2008 On draft at brewery, consumed 01/14/08. Light golden yellow, crystal clear (except for the actual blueberries in the beer). Carbonation especially noted due to foreign objects in glass. Aroma is (duh) blueberry. Flavor is laid-back wheat and malt with some smooth berry notes. Towards the end, some corn flavor appears. Not one of the overly-fruity novelty beers most microbreweries produce. golubj (1036), Redwood City, California, USA Jul 14, 2007 Draft at the brewery / restaurant. There were blueberries in the bottom of the glass and it was nice to eat them while drinking the beer. Otherwise it was like a dry wheat beer. alexanderj (1346), San Diego, California, USA Jul 14, 2007 Pretty tasty; poured a goldish color; lots of carbonation. Put blueberry right into the glass; flavor was a lot of blueberry and wheat; a little yeasty. Enjoyable, but not all that great BückDich (4559), Boise, Idaho, USA Jun 12, 2007 Tap @ Brewpub: There’s four blueberries sitting in the bottom of my taster glass... Golden color, light head and lacing. Nose of blueberry, tastes like those cheap instant blueberry pancakes without the buttermilk though. Intense, but unique, somewhat refreshing. I couldn’t drink much of this, because the base beer quickly comes out and shows its ugly self. Nice for the novelty. Unfortunately the blueberries don’t taste that good when you get to the bottom, you’d think they’d be some kind of reward.
